1995 Fender Stratocaster Order Made ‘57 Vintage Reissue ST57-53 Sunburst, Japan MIJ

$1,199.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1995 Fender "Order Made" Stratocaster ‘57 vintage reissue model ST57-53 in perfect working order. While stamped in the neck pocket and heel as part of Fender Japan's Order Made program (which offered non-catalog features and various upgrades on base model tiers), this “Made in Japan” Stratocaster has no features of note beyond the traditional ST57 platform.

This Stratocaster features a basswood body and a one-piece maple neck, weighing 7lbs 7oz. The stock trio of ST-Single pickups with staggered alnico magnets deliver quintessential Strat tonalities at each position on the five-way pickup selector switch. This ST57-53 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss two-tone Sunburst finish has one touched-up chip on the edge of the belly contour on the back, limited buckle worming, and some minor dings and finish scratches. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss, with several shallow nicks along the profile length that have no impact on playability.

A faux leather gigbag is included.
